Veteran journalist to lead EdSource
Louis Freedberg's hiring suggests new directions
Signaling a desire for a higher profile, new directions, and an interest in reaching a larger audience, the board of directors of the research and policy organization EdSource has hired veteran California journalist Louis Freedberg as its new executive director.
Freedberg is the senior education reporter at California Watch, the foundation-funded online investigative reporting news site and blog that he co-founded. He has written extensively about education policy in that job and at the San Francisco Chronicle, where he was a columnist, education reporter, Washington correspondent, and editorial writer for more than a decade.
